The Insert tab contains a variety of powerful tools that help you insert and modify items in your Word documents. If you need to search the help files, Microsoft has called some of these ready-made tools “Building Blocks.”

Pages: The first Building Block tool is the Cover Page. Not all documents need a cover page; however, if you want one, Microsoft offers more than twenty from which to choose. Just click on the drop down arrow beside the words Cover Page and select one. Also in this group are Blank Page and Page Break. (To insert a blank page using the keyboard press: Ctrl+Enter.)

Tables: This group provides an interesting feature. Click on the Table arrow and you’ll see a grid of little squares. If you run the cursor over these squares, you will see a preview of the resulting table in your document. Click to insert the table you see. Also available are the old Insert Table dialog box, Draw Table, insert Excel Spreadsheet and Quick Tables. The Quick Tables are ready-made templates that you can edit after inserting.

Illustrations: This is the fun group. Spend some time experimenting with the available tools: Picture, Clip Art, Shapes, SmartArt, Chart, and Screenshot. You’ll get some amazing effects. Once you insert something –

1 for instance, a shape – your ribbon will change and offer you more tools for adding effects to the inserted illustration. The only thing you can no longer do is insert an image into “WordArt” text – unless you change the formatting to 2003, but then you will not be able to use the 2010 effects on that particular object.

Links: Choices here are Hyperlink, Bookmark and Cross-reference. Hyperlink inserts web addresses into your document. Click on it and a dialog box will allow you to choose the address. The Bookmark tool provides a dialog box for naming any bookmarks you wish to insert and is probably most valuable if you are working with a lengthy document, but you could also use the basic Find tool to locate specific text. Cross- References help point readers to captions, headings, footnotes, endnotes, statistics, etc., and are automatically updated as you modify content. They only work within a current document; you cannot point to an object in another document.

Header & Footer: In this group, clicking on the Header and Footer drop down arrows will offer several templates from which you can choose. The Page Number insert also presents numerous options. After you select one, an editing tool will appear in the ribbon. To get out of the editing tool, click twice. To get back into the editing tool for Header, Footer or Page Number, click twice in the header or footer area. This editing tool can be used to format page numbers.

Text: This group includes Text Box, Quick Parts, WordArt, Drop Cap, Signature Line, Date & Time, and Object. Quick Parts inserts objects/things that are used repeatedly, such as the name of a company or an address, into the document. Drop Cap enlarges the beginning letter of a paragraph.

Symbols: In this group, Equation inserts mathematical symbols into your document and adds an editing tool to the ribbon. Symbol will insert objects like the copyright or trademark symbol into your text.

If you ever need to know what any of these tools does, just hold your cursor over it and a pop-up box will appear with a definition. Next: The Microsoft Word Ribbon: Page Layout Tab *** Genealogy Gems: News from the Fort Wayne Library, No. 90, August 31, 2011

Quick-Tip of the Month for Preservation--“Final” Resting Place for Your Documents & Heirlooms by John D. Beatty

We all know the importance of keeping our family documents in acid-free file folders and boxes and our photographs in archival-quality plastic or Mylar sleeves. We have also discussed in this column the importance of labeling our photographs and cataloging and identifying our family heirlooms, such as that vase you inherited from your great-grandmother, and then maintaining an inventory of those items. We have also talked about keeping our genealogical records in good order and even publishing our family history in some form and leaving it in a genealogical library.

But what happens to all of these precious items when you die? Have you made provision for your heirlooms in your will? Some people will have younger generations interested in genealogy who they know will gladly accept heirlooms and photo albums and agree to preserve them. If so, you should first be thankful, and then formalize in writing a bequest of these items to that heir in your will. Sadly, many have no such heirs and face the prospect of having their treasured heirlooms sold at an estate sale or even thrown into a dumpster. Don't let that happen to you. Consider the alternatives while you still can. If you have no interested heirs, see if there is a library or historical society in the area where your family lived - or even a state library or historical society - that would accept your family photos, Bibles, and letters. Make arrangements to donate them while you can, or make an appropriate provision in your will for your heirlooms to go there. Digitize your family photos and family Bible pages and create a family memory book - even if it is not a full-scale genealogy - and consider donating it to a library. The peace of mind is well worth

2 it.

[Ft. Wayne Editor’s note: If you want to share digitized data with others, including Bible records, diaries, and personal papers, you can simply send a disk copy to The Genealogy Center stating we have your permission to share the data online.]

Repeating: It would be a big assist to me if, when communicating with me, you would use your full name. If your a participant - also your kit #, and everyone - which family group or line is your interest. I am in contact with a pretty large number of people, lot’s of John’s, James’, etc, and when I receive email with a John or James or Harry signature, or when you go by your middle name, I have to go to Properties, get your email, and then do a search for who you are. It becomes quite time consuming.

You might consider setting up a block signature to use with me (If you are using Internet Explorer browser go to Tools, then options, then Signature, then New, provide a name (maybe dna), choose Text, type (for example) Phillip A. Hawkins, #123459, “Phil”, Hawkins Fam Grp #04, or maybe Susan Hawkins Smith, re Phillip A. Hawkins #123459, Fam Grp 04. Add the “signature” at the end of an email by going to “Insert” and selecting “Signature” and “dna.” ------***------Repeating: It takes more than one individual to provide a newsletter.

Early Virginia Hawkins families and the Baptist religion.

I have found a few examples of the relationship between Hawkins DNA group #1 and the Baptist Church in the period of time from the mid 1700’s into the early 1800’s. If anyone has more examples, please send them along. It would be interesting to see if the Baptist religion is a common thread in our lines in this period of time.

The first example is that of a Hawkins line that lived in the right area to be related to DNA group #1. However, as far as I know we have no DNA proof to either support that idea nor to prove there is no relationship. If anyone has a Hawkins male with excellent paper trail to this Hawkins line, I would gladly pay for a kit. Blue Run Baptist Church was founded in Orange county Virginia in 1769. Elijah Craig was the first pastor of this church. Elijah’s mother was Mary Hawkins who married Taliaferro Craig. She was the daughter of John and Mary Hawkins of Spotsylvania County, Va. It is clear

3 that this Hawkins family was affiliated with this Separatist Baptist denomination for when Elijah led an entire congregation from Culpeper County, Va to Kentucky in 1781, Elijah’s mother, Mary Hawkins, was among those traveling. This group is referred to as The Traveling Church.

In Kentucky, many Hawkins’ settled near the Forks of Elkhorn Baptist Church (Frankfort, KY upper left corner). In the book about this church written by Ermina Jett Darnell, Mrs. Darnell says: “ Hawkins: Thought there were many branches of the Hawkins family in this section, space can be given to only a few of the most widely connected. The early records show Elisha, Reuben, Moses, Arculous, Thomas, and so many Williams that they were designated as, “Black Head Billy”, “Red Head Billy”, “Cooper Billy”, and “Post and Rail Billy”...... ” At least part of this group is most certainly related to DNA group #1 as Mrs. Darnell mentions the children of Capt. Moses Hawkins of Orange County, Forks of the Elkhorn in KY. Virginia who married Susanna Strother.

My final example is my own line in which my Thomas R. Hawkins was one of a group who met in Brother Hawkins’ home to found Zion Baptist Church. “On the thirtieth day of October, in the year 1813, seventeen males and an unknown number of females, met in the home of Brother Hawkins, about three

and a half miles south of Orange. After a sermon...... After the sermon convened and they produced their letters of dismission, ....the church concluded to be known among her sister churches by the name of Zion. Brother Joseph Atkins was unanimously chosen clerk, to serve during good behavior. He served the church for forty eight years until he moved to Orange. ------***------Hawkins Family Group-02 (Group Administrator is Bob Hawkins, [email protected]) (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#Group-02)

Our earliest ancestor William Hawkins was born about 1720 in Orange Co., VA. Most of the lines in Group 2 have gaps that make it impossible at this time to establish a common ancestor. It could be a direct link to William or a brother. Nothing else is known about William’s parents or siblings at this time. There are other Hawkins living in Orange Co. at the time, but they match up with a different group. We also have 2 lines that have a name other than Hawkins. One line is named Ferguson in which we are pretty sure that the link with Hawkins has been established. A new line is Kirkpatrick in which no clear link has been established.

4

We have some ideas about a Kirkpatrick ancestor born in 1810 with some questions. Both lines are 37/37 marker matches with others in the Hawkins Group 2 line. We continue to hope that new DNA participants will match our Group and allow us to establish clear lines towards that elusive Common Ancestor. ------***------

Hawkins Family Group-04 (My, your editor’s, family group, [email protected].): Earliest known common ancestors are Jeffery and Dorothy (Mattock) Hawkins, emigrating from Wilts, England in 1682 to Bucks Co., PA. (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#Group-04)

Here is a series of three photos from my father's archives. The first was taken April 24, 1918 in Caddo County Oklahoma at the wedding of Harley A. Hawkins (my Grandfather) and Minnie Viola Lynch.

Minnie and Harley had 5 children, but their second child, Eugene, died very young with diphtheria. The second photo shows the family around 1930 in Norristown, PA. The children are, from left to right, Helen,

5

David (the baby), Arland, and Paul (my father, with the hat.) It is interesting and important to note that all four children and their mother Minnie died of heart disease. Between them there were a total of three bypass surgeries, one heart transplant, and at least four heart attacks, including one that took the life of my Uncle David in 1965 at the young age of 36.

Flashing forward about 20 years from the second photo, the third image shows Minnie with Arland's four boys (my cousins) around 1950. From left to right are Jerry, Jimmy, Joe (the baby) and Ronnie.

To all members of Group #5.

I have always wondered why some of you, who are working in the same respective areas, have not put your heads together and compared notes on your respective families as far back as you can go. There has to be some clues or inconsistencies that need to be explored. This line we all belong to comes from one man, John Hawkins, mariner of New England. He came into Maryland in 1651. He had sons: John, Matthew, Joseph and Thomas. In my book, which some of you have, I have documented their lives and families. The only one of the sons who has left little to find, is John, son of John the mariner who is referred to as John Hawkins, Planter. The sons who had progeny who left and went south to NC and then on to SC, KY and TN were Joseph and Matthew. This is a bottle-necked line. We have accounted for all of the original men in this line.

Matthew had a daughter, Rebecca, who had a child, Nathan with a person of very close consanguinity. She was raised in the household of Joseph - as far as we know from the will of her father, Matthew. Now then, we have Nathan Hawkins (son of Rebecca Hawkins) of Sullivan Co NC/TN who had sons. Joseph, son of John the mariner, had John and Augustine, who had sons. These are the people who are good candidates for progeny to beget your respective lines. It is possible that there are mistakes in your lines. Make sure everything is thoroughly documented. If you can go so far, and then no further, there is a mistake.

Use only material you have that can be backed up by original records. Never use hearsay. Never use "if". "If" is only an illusion - it will lead nowhere, but to a dead end. Go back to the "fork in the road".

I hope this will help some of you to take up the cause of researching your lines again. It is easy to get discouraged. There is never an easy way. This research can get very difficult and discouraging, but if you follow the rules of using only original sources, you have a much better chance of success.

Best wishes always, Jeanne Bornefeld ------***------

Hawkins Family Group-14 (Group Administrator is Dolore Hawkins Whitaker, [email protected].) (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~hawkinsdnaproject/tree_g-1.html#Group-14.)

Jacob Hawkins has an estimated date of birth of 1770 as he married a woman, Jane Ganter, who has a confirmed date of birth of 27 Aug 1770. He is first listed in the 1790 census on the same page as his father, Peter Hawkins. I assume he is either first born or the oldest surviving child of Peter and Prudence Hawkins. He and his mother are listed as executors of his father's estate in 1801. Jacob Hawkins seems to have died between 1820 and 1830 census where his wife Jane is listed as head of household. I believe they had the following children:

Sarah “Sallie” C Hawkins born 1792 and died 29 August 1843. She married Joseph Young 12 August 1806 and had 7 children. Sallie Hawkins Young died in Fayette County, Tn.

George Hawkins was born 14 July 1794/95 and died 1823. He married Mary Harmon. They had 3 children. He died in Tn but was buried at Newberry [SC]. Left 2 sons, Harrington Hawkins and Jacob Overton Hawkins.

PETER WATSON HAWKINS was born 18 May 1797, Newberry SC and is my 4th great grandfather. He married Mary Duval sometime before December 1822 when their first child was born. He was a farmer and a preacher. He and his wife were charter members of St Luke's Lutheran Church when the church was founded in 1828. He moved his family to Tennessee in 1844. His older brother, George, had gone to Tennessee earlier.

Jane Hawkins was born 5 Feb 1801 and died a spinster. In the 1850 census she is living with her mother in her aunt Elizabeth Thomas's house. She might be living with her brother, Elijah, and his family in Smyth, Va by the 1860 census.

Elizabeth Hawkins was born 27 June 1818 and married John Whitman. She died 16 September 1884 in Prosperity, Newberry County, SC. I have some questions if she might be Edward Hawkins' daughter.

Elijah Hawkins was born 3 Mar 1811 and seems to have died in 1868. It appears his spinster sister moved to Smyth, Va, after their mother's death. She is still listed living there with Elijah's widow, Annie C, in the 1870 census.

Polly Hawkins is listed with date of birth of 14 Nov 1824. Implies that Jacob was still alive Feb 1824.

In father’s will in 1801 mention that Jacob is living next to Isaac Thomas.

11

May term 1794: Minutes of Newberry County Court; On motion of Jacob Hawkins ordered that he be permitted to retail Spiritous Liquors at his house by the space of one year from this date whereupon he together with Abel Thomas entered into and acknowledged bond according to Law. May term 1794.

Jacob Hawkins is likely to have been the son of Peter and Prudence Thomas Hawkins. Abel Thomas is possibly the man who died in 1805 in Newberry County and appears to have been childless with wife Mary Heaton who probably preceded him in death as she is not named in the will. Abel leaves bequests to the children of Prudence Hawkins in his will. Isaac Thomas was likely a brother of Abel.

Jacob Hawkins: 1790 Newberry census: 1 1 3 - -. James Downs 2 households ahead. 1800 census: 2 - - 1 - 3 - 1 1 - - -; could parents be living with him? I have him about 30 yrs old so he is male 26/45, who is female16/26? shows 4 daughters, only three are known.

LWT 30 MY 1801, PROVEN 7 SEP 1801...... FATHER PETER’S WILL son: Jacob hawkins, 150 acres land whereon Jacob now lives adjacent to Isaac Thomas. Ex. wife Prudence, and son Jacob Hawkins. Wit: John Thomas Acott, James X Downs, William Ganter. son: Jacob Hawkins, 100 acres, part of above 400 acres, remainder of said 400 acres being willed to his brothers, Peter & William Hawkins. LOOKS LIKE TOTAL OF 1250 ACRES.

1800 census it reads oldest male is 26 to 44 so 1754 to 1774: 2 --1- 3 -1 1

1805 I have a note listing Jacob as executor to Abel Thomas’ estate, which also has Samuel Gaunt and Abel’s brother, Timothy Thomas, as executors. I can’t find Abel Thomas’ will to verify. Monies dispensed to Prudence’s children. Abel married Mary Heaton and in New Garden MM, Guilford County, NC, listed as married out of union 1758 6 24 in Hinshaw volume 1, page 577.

1810 census hard to read, looks like - 1 1 1 -// 2 - - 1 - - 2 living next to a Peter Hawkins but there is another Peter Hawkins 20 spaces above.

1814 May 16: Land deal to a Thomas Riddlespurger mentions that it is in Stoney Battery and adjacent to a Jacob Hawkins.

1820 census: 1 - - 3 - 1 - 1 - - 1 1 - 2 - 1 1.

1821 Jacob witnessed a land dispute settlement for a Israel Mooney: record shows Jacob living close to Timothy Thomas Jr.

1830 census Jane is listed by then so Jacob dead. She is listed as Jan* Hawkins and two households down from Peter Hawkins (Peter Watson) Hawkins, her son. ------I am including Ganter information to show why I believe Jacob died before 1830.

Jane Ganter Hawkins might have been the daughter of a George or Michael Ganter as I can find them in the Scot Irish migrations to SC 1772 1751 under Samuel Wyly, coming from Timahoe, County Kildare. I find a Michael Ganter age 45 and up in the 1800 Kerhaw SC center. A complicating issue is that there is a Christian Ganter listed in petition dated September 28, 1749 Palatines in NC. That Ganter was probably Swiss. Somewhere I read that some Palatines did end up in Ireland and then some immigrated on to the colonies later. I have other Palatines in my family who went from Rotterdam to England, NY to Pa in 1709- 10. There is a Michael Ganter in Newberry who swore an oath for the estate of Zebulon Gaunt, deceased, in 1792. Zebulon was the son of Samuel and Mary Gaunt. It sounds like a family relationship between Gaunt

12 and Ganter who [have] a spelling issue between them. Further complication on the spelling front is that of the Gants. In 1786 a George Ganter signed a statement of Grand Jury in Camden, SC.

1801: Peter Hawkins will has a witness named William Ganter, who could be a brother, father or cousin of Jane Ganter Hawkins, wife of Jacob Hawkins and daughter in law of Peter Hawkins. Other witnesses to Peter’s will were John Thomas Acott and James Downs.

In 1800 census there was a Jacob Gants and a Hannah Gants. There is a William Ganter in the 1820 census Newberry,, SC.

1830 census shows Jan* Hawkins, two doors away from Peter Hawkins, presumably their son, Peter Watson Hawkins...... - - - 1 male 15 to 20 // 1 female 5 to 10; 1female 20 to 30; 1 female 50 to 60; no slaves listed. but tally shows 4. No Jacob listed so assume he had already died.

1832 St Luke’s records show her a widow. [Jane Ganter Hawkins]

1840 Newberry census: 1 female 20 to 30 and 1 female 50 to 60. Seems to me wrong line as she would be 70 or maybe 69.

1850 Newberry census Jane,80. and her daughter Jane Hawkins (48) living with head of household, Elizabeth Thomas, age 57. Is Elizabeth a niece? ELIZABETH THOMAS DOB 30 JULY 1793 TO 23 MAY 1869.

1854: Departed this life on the 13th of Octo., in Newberry Dist., S. C., Mrs. Jane Hawkins, in the 84th year of her age, born in Camden, S. C., in 1770, and afterwards lived in Columbia, in Abbeville district and then in Newberry, her only two sons, Revs. P. W. and Elijah Hawkins, buried in Chapman's grave yard . Issue of November 24, 1854 Departed this life on the 13th of Octo., in Newberry Dist., S. C., Mrs. Jane Hawkins, in the 84th year of her age, born in Camden, S. C.,

I remembered a letter I have from some cousin, written by a John Hawkins who lived from 1861 to 1909. The diary entry was submitted by a Betty B Becknell and it is dated September 29, 1882 (QNDQ Summer 1993 Vol 2 No 2)

"My great grandfather, Jacob Hawkins, was a farmer and lived near Mr Bedenbaugh's present residence (1882) He was a class leader in the Meth. Church. To him belongs the story of the man who wanted corn. Grandfather (don't know if this is Peter or John's father, my comment) told him to take all he could carry and he took enough to break his horse's back."

I don't think this is a positive statement but I am not sure exactly what it means. Is Jacob greedy, stupid, or hungry? Might give some clue to his personality according as his great great grandson thought of him. Dolores
